I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but he’s looking like a lighter version of Draymond

Can we have a moratorium on comparing every single slightly undersized PF to Draymond Green? This kid's game really doesn't look like Draymond at all.

He looks good so far. It'll take more than 3 preseason games before we can say not drafting him was a "mess up" though.

Sure, except for the fact he can't shoot, dribble, or pass he looks exactly like Draymond.

You saw Semi go 4-7 from 3 and play solid D the other night...did you not?

Well as long as you aren't jumping to conclusions...

I think both guys are 2nd round steals that should've gone in the 1st round. The Bulls sold this pick for cash when they desperately need talent. That's the saddest part of the story. The Bulls need a good front office cleaning. I think Semi might fit Brad's system better because of his shooting but Jordan Bell looks like he's going to a good energy big. The Warriors are not as in need of shooting and just need some hustle off the bench.

Can we have a moratorium on comparing every single slightly undersized PF to Draymond Green? This kid's game really doesn't look like Draymond at all.

He looks good so far. It'll take more than 3 preseason games before we can say not drafting him was a "mess up" though.

Not until we have one for comparing every 6'11-7'0+ guy from Europe who can shoot threes to Dirk Nowitzki :laugh:.

At least most of these Dirk guys are tall and can shoot.  Some of the Draymond guys are total opposites as players.  Pretty crazy.

Blasphemy. Every white guy over 6'11 who has good form IS Dirk. They just need to realize it. Mark my words, Andrea Bargs is gonna put it together one day.

Kuzma was taken at 27 and we didn't pick until 37.

How could we have taken a player at #37 that was already gone at #27? I'll wait.

Somewhere on the internet some silly fan is starting a thread "Did (insert the name of their team's GM) mess up by not taking Semi Ojeleye?
